Which of the following terms describes a repudiation of a contract that occurs before the time when
performance is due?

A.
Expected breach

B.
Actual breach

C.
Anticipatory breach

D.
Nonperforming breach

Explanation:
The anticipatory breach is also known as an anticipatory repudiation. It is a term in the law of
contracts that describes a declaration by the promising party to a contract that he or she does not
intend to live up to his or her obligations under the contract. Anticipatory breach is an unequivocal
indication that the party will not perform when performance is due, or a situation in which future
non-performance is inevitable.
Answer option B is incorrect. An actual breach is an unwarranted failure to perform a contract at the
time when the performance is due.
Answer options A and D are incorrect. These are not valid options.
